So, what about you? Have you gone all-technology or are you still drawn to the colorful, quaint or even elegant notebooks on the office-supplies aisle? Do you get excited about a never-been-written-on pad of paper, fresh from the shelf? Me too!

There is something to be said about notebooks...the paper kind. They are inexpensive compared to their electronic counterparts. If you get bored with one, just buy another one with a new look! And, depending on the contents, you can leave them lying around without too much concern that someone will take it!

Their value? Priceless! Notebooks are a time management, organizing tool that can be a key to success. Use them for reminders, lists, schedules, deep thinking, ideas, even BRILLIANT ideas.
Styles? Spiral, spiral with dividers, top-spiral steno style, side spiral, adhesive bound, hard cover (journals), large, medium, small, micro-mini. And they come with covers that are uniquely different as we are! One for every taste.
HEY, TEACHERS: have you yet discovered the MAGNETIC NOTEBOOK PAPER that attaches to a white board? So cool!

:D I love notebooks! I have one Moleskine (pocket size) with graph paper. After that, I figured they cost too much and switched to Markings brand. I'm not a huge fan of Markings because their covers are either too gaudy for my liking (shiny patent leather, anyone?) or too bulky.
ReplyDeleteOn a recent trip to Office Depot, I found an unbranded notebook that was the exact duplicate of Moleskine for 1/3 the price. I'll be picking up that next - available in both hard and soft cover. Hopefully the paper's good quality (I lean toward fountain pens) and it'll have enough demand that Office Depot can continue to keep it in stock.
I absolutely still love notebooks. I keep a notebook on my bed side, so when I get ideas for stories or poems in the middle of the night, I jot it down. I still have a journal as well. There is still a very important place for the notebook. It's more personal and works great!
ReplyDeleteI love love love notebooks. I love clean white paper, and I Love books, too. I don't think I'll ever go digital. I Love the real mccoy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this happiness with us at Rub Some Dirt On It!
I love all the different types of notebooks you can buy. And journals. Sometimes I think I buy not so much to use but because they were colorful or just different.

Technology is great (unless it's not working right), but I still have to have paper. I use notebooks, too, but usually just the inexpensive ones. I like your idea of using pretty ones.
